OPERATION

IMPORTANT: DO NOT plug into a power supply unless you have ensured the
saw is switched OFF. To do this, squeeze the trigger fully, then release it.
NOTE: The LED work light will be illuminated once the tool is plugged into the
power supply. There is no standalone on/off switch for the light.

PRIOR TO CUTTING

1. Ensure that the workpiece is securely held in place and that the cut line is
clearly marked.
2. Ensure the blade is not striking anything below the workpiece and that the
power cable is well away from the moving blade before starting the saw.
• Let the blade work naturally. If cutting out an aperture, it will be
necessary to drill a suitably sized hole in the workpiece to use as a
starting point.
• The blade should emerge from the work at every point of the cut.
3. Check that any previously used timber being sawn does not contain any
nails or other metal objects which would damage the blade.
